11 “This also is yours: whatever is set aside from the gifts of all the wave offerings(A) of the Israelites. I give this to you and your sons and daughters as your perpetual share.(B) Everyone in your household who is ceremonially clean(C) may eat it.

14 “Everything in Israel that is devoted[a] to the Lord(I) is yours. 15 The first offspring of every womb, both human and animal, that is offered to the Lord is yours.(J) But you must redeem(K) every firstborn(L) son and every firstborn male of unclean animals.(M) 16 When they are a month old,(N) you must redeem them at the redemption price set at five shekels[b](O) of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel,(P) which weighs twenty gerahs.(Q)

17 “But you must not redeem the firstborn of a cow, a sheep or a goat; they are holy.(R) Splash their blood(S) against the altar and burn their fat(T) as a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(U) 18 Their meat is to be yours, just as the breast of the wave offering(V) and the right thigh are yours.(W) 19 Whatever is set aside from the holy(X) offerings the Israelites present to the Lord I give to you and your sons and daughters as your perpetual share. It is an everlasting covenant of salt(Y) before the Lord for both you and your offspring.”
